Reviews
The premis is wonderful, the story of Hitler told by a devil - what a great idea. However, its fascination with excrement and bodily smells was a but offputting, and this narrator's voice I find a bit harsh. But, if stick with it, its an interesting, although not fast-paced, piece to listen to.
